Default Cam Only ???

I have a 99 TA with 120k on the clock. The motor runs great....no leaks, motor looks new ( i clean my engine bay all the time). I am looking to add a cam just to give some extra power. My current mods are underdrive pulley,pacesetter lt, no cats, magnaflow, ls6 clutch (which i think is getting on its last leg), 4.10 gears, moser axles, stock diff, custom cai,ls1 intake, full bmr susp. Here is what i planned on going with......If i went with tsp, i would get there cam package with prc dual springs, ms4, tsp oil pump, ls2 timing chain, hs roller rockers, spec2 with alum flywheel. Also an ls6 intake! I know h/c combo would be better, but i have about 2k to spend. Any opinions would be helpful!! This isn't a daily driver (anymore), i just want the best overall cam only setup for a motor with 120k miles. Thanks!!!

Well i take it that i asked a stupid ? since i have 1 response and 99 views. I have searched and found alot of info on cam only cars, but was just wondering if all the parts i had listed be enough to add a cam on a high mileage car. Like the new oil pump and timing chain. I just don't want to put in a cam and a month later something broke because i replaced one thing and didn't the other.

no the list you put down is very good. those are all things that you would need for a cam setup. is this car your dd? what are your goals for the car?? the ms4 is a big cam but some people dd and dont have a problem with it while others want to beat their head into a well b/c of it.
